Recenzii
"The importance of Newson and Minchin's work is two fold. In the first place, they have uncovered precious new documentation in the Archivo General de la Nación in Lima which gives perhaps the most detailed record we have for the entire proceedings of a slave-trading enterprise from the 1610s. In the second place, they have pieced together perhaps the most detailed account we have of the lives of slaves in this Iberian trade during every aspect of their transatlantic migration, from capture to sale, as their title suggests. [...] This is a book which scholars need to consider with care and detailed attention." – Tobias O. Green, University of Birmingham, in: H-Luso-Africa (May, 2010)
"This outstanding book adds significantly to the understanding of a relatively understudied part of the Atlantic slave trade in a period that similarly suffers from neglect, when compared with the attention paid to the trade's later incarnations." – J.M. Rosenthal, in: Choice, 2007
"From Capture to Sale shows that Portuguese slave-trading in the early seventeenth century was indeed a risky business. Before the era of trading companies merchants like Manuel Bautista Pérez relied on far-flung networks of kin and compatriots for local knowledge and capital to carry out the many transactions necessary to move slaves safely and profitably from Africa to Peru. Though the authors' conclusion refers to the risks incurred by the Portuguese slave-traders at the heart of the book, the meticulously analyzed evidence on slaves' diets, health, and mortality richly documents the many hazards they too faced on the very long journey from capture to sale. [...] The text has more than a dozen photographs, maps, and illustrations and is supplemented with thirty-one tables, seven appendices, a glossary of Spanish and Portuguese terms, a bibliography, and an extensive index. This wealth of supporting material is increasingly rare in academic publishing, as is the use of footnotes rather than endnotes. Brill may be one of the few publishers to allow such relative extravagances, but they will be much appreciated by the book's scholarly readers." – Evelyn Powell Jennings, Saint Lawrence University, in: H-Atlantic
"This study can be recommended to all readers interested in the history of the slave trade to Spanish America. A general audience as well as students of slave history will gain from the clear structure of the study following the different stages of slave trade. Thanks to the the rich material presented in 7 appendices, 7 figures, 7 maps, and 31 tables, the study is equally valuable to the specialist." – Dagmar Bechtloff, University of Bremen, in: Hispanica American Historical Review, vol. 88, no. 4, pp. 730-731
